Astor Court Building, Apartment building on Broadway, Upper West Side Manhattan, United States.

The Astor Court Building rises 13 floors at the intersection of West 89th Street and West 90th Street, featuring a central landscaped courtyard.

Charles A. Platt designed this residential structure for Vincent Astor in 1916, during a period of rapid residential development in Manhattan's Upper West Side.

The building represents early 20th-century architectural design principles with its symmetrical layout and incorporation of green spaces within urban housing.

The structure contains 164 residential units and underwent conversion to cooperative housing in 1985, maintaining its original architectural elements.

The building includes an interior garden courtyard, which Ellen Biddle Shipman possibly designed, incorporating nature into the urban residential space.
